The alternator on 1.8 engined cars is bolted in from the rear of the car which makes adjustment and removal a pretty long winded operation, so when changing a popular modification is to replace the factory fitted bolt with a nut AND bolt from an alternator from a 1.6 engined car.

Don't remove the alternator on a MK2/MK2.5 MX5 unless absolutely necessary. If your charging light is on, check other
possibilities such as the battery, belt, etc and do a diagnostic check. If the alternator needs testing, see if the specialist
can check it on the car.
